It was 15 years ago today that the Greg Mottola-directed hit comedy Superbad was released in theaters nationwide!
Superbad is probably one of the funniest movies that I've ever seen on the big screen (next to 1994's Dumb and Dumber and 1998's There's Something About Mary—both directed by the Farrelly brothers); which is interesting considering the fact that this film is produced by Judd Apatow, whose other flicks I'm not a big fan of.
The dialogue between Superbad's three main characters, Seth (Jonah Hill), Evan (Michael Cera) and Fogell, a.k.a. McLovin (Christopher Mintz-Plasse), is so gut-busting hilarious that I actually posted a blog entry back in 2007 listing a lot of memorable quotes by these three goofballs...as well as other characters like Officer Michaels (Seth Rogen) and Officer Slater (Bill Hader). Even the ladies (Jules, played by Emma Stone; Becca, portrayed by Martha MacIsaac; and Aviva Baumann's Nicola) got in on the raunchiness!
I watched Superbad twice on the big screen 15 years ago (the second time for free while I was at work), and even have it on DVD. Not bad, Apatow... This is one of his films where the phallic jokes are actually funny. And not just funny, but really funny. Happy Hump Day.
